Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF)

We recently did a small reorg and my team is now responsible for the MSF components that ship in Visual Studio Team System. This means I now need to understand it even better than I do now and work to make sure it’s delivering everything you want. Coincidentally, Jeff Beehler wrote a post asking for feedback on MSF. I’d really appreciate it if you would leave any comments you have on MSF and what you would like to see as a comment on his blog post. I promise I’ll read that feedback and use it to help shape what I think we should be doing in MSF going forward.

It is a framework for a software development process. It can help you understand the things you need to think about in developing yours and give you a good starting place. Software development processes are very complex and poor ones are the #1 reason for project failure. Visual Studio Team System contains a bunch of tools to help you automate and monitor your software development process.
